Explosively 'Merican. Thinkers welcome.

The most ‘Merican thing to happen to the internet since Betsy Ross opened her first Etsy shop.

If it’s red, white or blue, 30 Mike Mike is all about it. We’re the best thing to happen to the military since those mini Tabasco Sauce jars that go in MREs. Or BRAC. Or Bob Hope. We’re like if Bob Hope and Benjamin Franklin started a blog together.

A new ‘Merica. This is what we’re about.

They say there are no atheists in foxholes. There aren’t any racists in foxholes either.

New ‘Merican values. The new ‘Merican values are the old ‘Merican values, like hard work, loving God and country (in that order), and bringing cookies over to your neighbor’s house at Christmas even if they don’t look like you and their dog keeps pooping in your yard.

A new voice. We’re tired of the same old voices representing the military, so we’re doing something about it. There are plenty of sites out there that reflect the veteran’s unquenchable capacity for lowbrow humor. But veterans don’t just care about dick and fart jokes (sorry, mom, this is a technical term that I didn’t make up). They’re also some of the most principled, critically thinking individuals on the planet, not least of all because they’ve seen more of it than most people. We think that side of them needs a voice too. You know…alongside the D&F jokes.

Inclusion, not exclusion. Most of us in the military welcome those who aren’t exactly like us. They say there are no atheists in foxholes. There aren’t any racists in foxholes either. It’s one of the many reasons (along with the snazzy uniforms) that the ‘Merican military is the greatest fighting force in the world.
